Bull Weevil A Real Menace "Save North Carolina's 1925 Cotton Crop from 801 l Weevil and Keep the State Prosperous," is the title of a bulletin recently gotten out by B. O. Townsend, of Dunn.' Mr. Towji&end has taken the trouble to gather many boll wsevil facts and hopes -o get the cottoiV growers to t 1 on''this subject \ He finds from the best available in fcrmation that the weev/ has covered marly every acre otton territory ili this country and has taken good care of-himself through the winter, and under normal conditions may be expected to get a good start with his 1 deadly work. The extreme season last year caused ; North Carolina Leads the IMay (Baltimore (Md.) Sun) . j The '.rial which has just ended atl V> illiamston, N. C., with the convic-| lion and sentence of five principalis and eighteen accessories charged with one the most barbarous crimes ever perpetrated in any section of the United States has attracted the at tention of the whole country for two reasons. One was because of its un , usual character; and the other because ' ils result involved the honor and civ ilization of that State. The mob outrags of which Needle man was the victim was the supreme expression of a savage vengeance that has few parallels in the long, black, and bloody annals of American lynch . law. Circumstances that Have devel oped since the attack on the jail in whieh he was confined and his delib erate mutila'.ion by the mob have tended to give this horrible affair a still more dreadful aspect and irifpH eation. The woman in the case has been married to a member of the mob or on* in sympathy with it, and the court has formally stricken from its docket the charge of assaulting her which she and her friends had laid against Needleman. Thus a man in nocent in the eyee of the law was made the object not only of bUha popular fury hot presumably of a false accu sation. In meet cases the mistakes of mobs vf und firmer ——-- ij t. L. F.

The method used seemed to have very little effect against the weevil. This may cause us to forget to look out this year, and if the weather suits the little pest, he may eat the cotton crop to total destruc; tion,.. The Federal Ileserve Banks are very ccutious about ex ending credit on cotton crops in heavily inte.ted dis trict where no fight is being waged against the weevil. - ' j Less caution seems to have been taken by fertilizer companies. They have apparently plunged in deeply in ! the extension of credits, even in the i worst boll weevil section*. a are buried wi h their victims or are veiled by the confusion of testimony. Tile s'riUinift feature of this case i .hat thealleged crime has been i - ■ dotted, he supposed criminal discharg ed, and. his mob judges' and execu tioners-are sent to prison. It is no. tite triumph of justice and re.ribution,'fhoWever, that gives this case' it* chief significance and import ance. It is, in a sense, epoch making in thai section not only because it calls a peremptory halt on the false and dangefqjUs priniciple of the s. called "higher law," but because it contains a judicial warning against ; the equally false and even more dead-1 ly spirit of a lawless coAe of morality und righteousness which seeks to im pose its will upon all whom it regards as offenders. Ordinary outbreaks of mob venge ance are bad enough, but far worse, far more intolerable, far more ' de structive is the fanaticism which or- j ganizes a system of mob law r , * r " dertakes to apply it at, its own pleas ure to every case which offends its prejudices or its view of human con duct. • Judge Sinclair dwelt impressively upon this phase of this extraordinary crime, and more than hinted that the rapid growth of mob law in North Carolina in the last few years has been coincident with a new .and or- THE ART CRITICS ' -"""77' »A.&CHAPIN I SAVING CLOVER SEED Blair i ells of Easy Way to Save Seed at Home One of the greatest drawbacks to Bowing more legumes in North Caro lina is the cost of seed. With aome legumes this may be overcome by saving the seed at home. Extension workers of the State College oi Agri culture find that this is easy with crimson clover. Simply let an acre or two get fairly".ripe, mow irrnnrt put it in u barn with a tight floor. Feed this to, cattle during the summer; it is not .first-class "hay, but much bet ter roughage,, than straw or corn stover. When feeding this roughage, ganized reign of mental and religious I intolerance. What has happened now is that this! "r i new regime of secret tyranny, as well J as the old theory of the "higher law," | has received a heavy blow' from the sword of justice, and that lawless mor alists will be likely hereafier to get \ the same punishment in North Caro lina as lawless immoralists.
